On 10 November 2016, the Bulls and Bombers gave us a battle to remember and talk about for a long time. Nothing separated those two teams but missed free throws and a game-winning/buzzer beater. They played hard from the opening tipoff to the final shot by (#38) Shederal Hughes of the Bombers. With his son sitting next to me, we heard the buzzer while the ball was in-flight in the direction of the basketball goal. When the ball fell through the nets, I watched Hughes' son celebrate the shot, made by his father, while showing appreciation for the excitement of the game.

The game started with the Bulls drawing first blood with a two points and the lead changes and ties followed. The Bulls and Bombers were involved in 13 lead changes and seven (7) ties by the end of the first half.

With 43.2 seconds remaining in the game, the scores were tied at 68. With 6.1 seconds remaining in the game, the Bombers requested their fourth time out with the Bulls leading 70 - 68.
